How to Recognize MLM Recruitment Tactics?

Question

I've been pursued by some folks who appear to belong to multi-level marketing organizations. What are some common schemes used by MLMs in recruiting additional members that I can spot and prevent myself from being drawn in unwittingly?

Answer 1

The way MLM recruiters usually talk gives away their recruitment intentions. They exhibit certain language blocks, highlight the business possibilities on offer and the idea of money making opportunities. It is not uncommon for recruiters to be particularly articulate and show a great interest in selling your motivational aspirations. When you know these red flags, you will be able to spot an MLM recruitment attempt and measure your appetite for involvement.

They are always nice. That's part of the plan. They want something from you

I’m in the middle of this process of this WORLD WIDE GROUP organization that Amway created and I think I’m gonna ghost them lol! Thank you !!

I don’t like feeling pressured to do something, and I felt very pressured to DO something. And that didn’t sit well with me. Plus I have an eye for people who are not very genuine. So I cut ties very quickly. The only thing I regret is wasting my time. But I did read a pretty good book they recommended similar to you.

I am interested to know what are the attributes of an Amway or any MLM person that you can spot?

Amway, like all MLMs is a cult and uses the same tactics. Beware "love bombing" which is a very common recruitment tactic of cults (as well as sociopaths). Then comes the efforts to make you look negatively on your life before you joined the group and the building of a "them and us" mentality. Recognise when this is happening and you'll avoid a lot of heartache..and money!
